We went out one night Everything went right We got something started It was outta sight We had such a good time Hey! Why didn't you call me? I thought I'd see you again By the phone I wait String into space Thinking about our first kiss Out on our first date We had such a good time Hey! Why didn't you call me? I thought I'd see you again Why don't you call me again? And I'm gonna ask When I see you again Thought you would be my man my lover my friend I never thought it would end so quickly It would end I've resorted to Hanging up on you I know you know it's me How else will I talk to you We had such a good time Hey! Why didn't you call me? I thought I'd see you again Why don't you call me again? And I'm gonna ask When I see you again Thought you would be my man my lover my friend I never thought it would end so quickly We had such a good time Hey! Why didn't you call me? I thought I'd see you I thought I'd see you I thought I'd see you again
